Ameristep blinds are popular for many reasons, including the design and comfort of their hunting blinds. Although they also make turkey hunting blinds, most of their blinds are deer hunting blinds and they come in a variety of camo patterns from their own Tangle 2.0 and Snow Tangle, to Realtree AP HD.

Hunting experts such as Michael Waddell, Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo, and Mike Avery have collaborated with Ameristep to create personalized hunting blinds and tree stands. See the Ameristep Bone Collector Blind as an example of that collaboration in action.

You can stay invisible while relishing 360 degrees of shooting with the Ameristep Bone Collector Hunting Blind. This easy up, easy down hub-style ground blind features Ameristep’s cutting edge NS3 Microtech Fabric, which eliminates shine and noise with its weather resistant, dull fleece finish. The Bone Collector Hunting Blind is fortified on the inside with the scent blocking, carbon-enhanced Shadowguard laminated interior finish. Vertical window technology and shoot-through mesh windows with gun port give you lots of shooting options in any direction. Built-in roof vent system releases heat to help you stay comfortable and focused when the temperature starts to rise.

With enough room for 2 people, this Ameristep ground blind is very roomy. The Bone Collector Blind takes only minutes to set up and tear down, and has a great layout. For the price, the quality of this blind is surprising.

The Bone Collector Blind has proven to be stable in the wind.

Some drawbacks include the necessity for some hunters to have to shoot from a sitting position (the blind is 69 inches tall or 5 foot 9 inches). Also, although the fabric is water resistant, some hunters have said the Bone Collector blind is not truly waterproof. Finally, the button up window flaps can be difficult to get off and on easily.

However, the Ameristep Bone Collector Blind has lots of space inside and can easily hold two hunters who are gun hunting. Bowhunters might have a tougher time getting two inside, but that really depends on size. For the average bowhunters, two should fit comfortably. The windows are easy to shoot a bow through from a seated position with room to spare inside the blind. The side by side vertical windows are a serious plus for bowhunters.

The Ameristep Doghouse Blind is Ameristep’s original and most popular ground blind. The Ameristep Doghouse “continues to dominate and lead the way in Ground Blind performance.” It’s especially well suited for firearm and bow hunting, and good for photographers.

Four shooting ports and two viewing ports provide shooting and viewing to the rear. The Dark Horse weighs less than 20 pounds so it is easy to move to and from the field but still has plenty of room for multiple people to sit comfortably.
